There is a documentary screening this Wednesday evening at 6:30 at the William Byrd Community House. From the FaceBook event page:
The Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality are pleased to present the documentary “Battle for Brooklyn,” a 2011 film that tells the story of residents of the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., and their 8-year fight against the big developers and city politicians who attempted to seize 22 acres of land via eminent domain in order to build a basketball stadium surrounded by dense development.
You can see a trailer for the film here:
The film (1 hour, 56 minutes) will be preceded by a brief introduction by Ana Edwards, Chair of the Defenders’ Sacred Ground Historical Reclamation Project, on the parallels between the Brooklyn struggle and the Richmond community’s fight against a Shockoe stadium.
Light refreshments will be provided. Children are welcome. We are currently trying to arrange for childcare, but this is not certain yet. If you have accessibility concerns, please contact Kat.
While this event is free, donations are appreciated and will help us continue our all-volunteer work.
Note: This film is being made available free by the filmmakers as their contribution to the efforts to stop a Shockoe Stadium.

From a neighbor:
Richmond Cohousing is sponsoring a documentary film in Pleasants Park at the corner of Laurel and Albemarle behind the Pine Street Baptist Church. If it rains the Pine Street Baptists have kindly offered us the use of their facilities.
“Within Reach ” is about sustainable communities. A couple take a tour across United States by bike to visit a wide variety of different types of green communities looking for their forever home.
More info and a trailer can be found here:

It starts at dark (8 ish) but feel free to come anytime after 7pm to set up your blankets, lawn chairs, and grab some free popcorn and lemonade.
Hollywood Cemetery is happy to announce a new evening tour for tomorrow night at 6 pm! You can purchase tickets through the Valentine Richmond History Center or by clicking here.
Across the river, The James River Outdoor Coalition (JROC) presents the premiere of the movie DamNation on Thursday, May 22, at 9 pm at the Manchester Floodwall Park, 3 Hull Street, Richmond 23224. “This powerful film odyssey across America explores the sea change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers.” Suggested donation is $5. It’s a fabulous place to watch a film!
